retro Ravina goes contra Cricket

This is not good. Beautiful women who don't follow cricket is like having a canine friend who does not like to play frisbee.

OK, I agree with Ravina, that Kargil is more important that cricket, but cricket is not a substitute for Kargil, it is a distraction. It becomes an obsession because it is so entertaining. On the other hand, reading about the deaths of soldiers whose hands are tied by the Defence Ministry is nothing short of depressing.

Onkar: Ravina, there are only two ways of waking the people to the seriousness of Kashmir.
Ravina: What are those, Onkar?
Onkar: Ah, my feet hurt. I must have walked too much today.
Ravina: Oh, don't worry, I'll malish your feet. But pray, please tell me what are those two ways.
Onkar:

Oh yeah, that feels good. They are physical and psychological. In the physical way, you let the terrorists come and kill a few civilians here and there. It worked perfectly for the Americans. Now every American knows more about Afghanistan and Arabia than they know about their silly forefathers who got kicked out of Europe and plundered the Native Americans to extinction.
The psychological way requires the government to go on an information flood. Host talk shows with Kargil veterans, the families of soldiers who saced their lives for the country and other people who will bring the reality of Kashmir to the everyday home.

Ravina: Are you telling me that we can either frighten them or shame them into being serious? Is that really ok?
Onkar: Ravina, you don't understand. People are basically stupid and need to be told what to do.
Ravina: Are yaar, lekin that isn't democracy.
Onkar: What is democracy? The freedom to choose. Let's reduce the number of choices to give people. Let them make a choice from a list of choices that we estimate to have the same utility.
Ravina: That's a smart idea, Onkar. People will feel happy that they are getting to make choices, but all the important choices will be made by us.
Onkar: Now you are getting the hang of it, Ravina. Oh yeah, work on the sole and the heel, ah, just wonderful..life is good.
